Pros

-Pay is very competitive -Promotions are quick for those who go beyond -Amazing learning opportunities from very smart people -Management genuinely cares about career growth of employees

Cons

-Management is obsessed with meeting sprint requirements, even when they made mistakes in estimating difficulty -The burden of their mistakes falls on the engineers, making for many stressful late nights & weekends trying to meet these arbitrary deadlines to avoid being fired or put on a “performance improvement plan”

Advice to Management

Don’t worry so much about sprint deadlines, especially when it means that talented engineers are suffering or being stressed out of their minds.

Great progress can still be made outside of these arbitrary deadlines.
